“Albuquerque resident Nicolás Cabrera’s bilingual collection of poems, Ecos Neomexicanos: Poesía de la Tierra del Encanto, pays homage to his mother, his father, and his childhood in New Mexico. The poems address food, home, love, and spirituality in plain language. Sometimes Cabrera writes in persona, as in “Alcalá,” a poem told from his grandmother’s point of view. She speaks about life in her father’s home, and then her husband’s; she describes her love for her children, whom she followed from Mexico to the United States. He writes at length about New Mexico Christmas traditions, including the symbolic lights of luminarias and farolitos, which guide the way for wanderers on Dec. 24.”
From “A Bounty of Books” published in the Santa Fe New Mexican “Pasatiempo” magazine, August 23, 2019.
